This example demonstrates the use of TQt's widget flags to provide
|
|
|
|
|
toplevel widgets with customized window decorations.
|
|
|
|
|
<p> It provides a graphical user interface for selecting different
|
|
|
|
|
options for widget decoration and behavior, and passes the
|
|
|
|
|
appropriate widget flags to the <a href="tqwidget.html">TQWidget</a> constructor.
|
|
|
|
|
<a href="tqwidget.html#reparent">TQWidget::reparent</a>() is used to change the widget flags at runtime.
|
|
|
|
|
<p> <b>Warning:</b> Note that the interpretation and functionality of the
|
|
|
|
|
widget flags depends on the window manager used when running the
|
|
|
|
|
application. Many window managers do not support every possible flag
|
|
|
|
|
combination.
|
|
|
|
|
<p> The user interface providing the different options was created using
|
|
|
|
|
<a href="designer-manual.html">TQt Designer</a>. The different
|
|
|
|
|
options are explained in the user interface through the use of
|
|
|
|
|
tooltips and What's This help. Load the <tt>options.ui</tt> file into
|
|
|
|
|
<a href="designer-manual.html">TQt Designer</a> for more details.

Widgets that provide their own (e.g. themed) window decoration

should use this flag.

|

|
entry, and on most window managers it will always stay on

top of the parent widget. This is the standard behavior for
|
|
|
|
|
dialog boxes, especially if they are modeless, and for other
|
|
|
|
|
secondary toplevel widgets.
|
|
|
|
|
<p> To provide a taskbar entry the widget must have no parent,
|
|
|
|
|
in which case we need to use the <tt>WGroupLeader</tt> flag to
|
|
|
|
|
prevent blocking through the modal main dialog. Applications
|
|
|
|
|
that can have multiple toplevel windows open simultaneously
|
|
|
|
|
should use this combination.

window manager supports this functionality.

<a href="#footnote1"><sup>(1)</sup></a><a name="footnote-call1"></a>

those are in a different modal group (see <tt>WGroupLeader</tt>).

Dialogs are often modal, and the <a href="ntqdialog.html">TQDialog</a> class provides an easy API
|

to create and display them without the need to explicitly use this

flag.

<a href="#footnote3"><sup>(3)</sup></a><a name="footnote-call3"></a>

Unfortunately some X11 window managers also require the <tt>WX11BypassWM</tt> flag to be set in addition; but some other X11 window

The example uses <a href="ntqguardedptr.html">TQGuardedPtr</a> to make sure that the
